Overview

Earth Sciences New Zealand (ESNZ) is seeking Proposals from the two incumbent MBIE All-of-Government (AoG) Travel Management Services (TMS) providers – Orbit (currently servicing GNS Science) and FCM (currently servicing NIWA). MBIE requires ESNZ to operate under a single TMS provider, and this RFP is a closed secondary procurement to select the provider that offers the best overall fit for ESNZ.
This procurement aims to establish a unified travel management solution that supports ESNZ’s end to end travel processes, including online booking, approvals, financial integration, traveller support, risk management and reporting. A key requirement is the ability to integrate with ESNZ’s enterprise systems — Oracle (ERP) and Unimarket (Procurement) — to enable automated workflows, policy alignment, financial accuracy, and consolidated visibility of travel activity across all ESNZ business units.

RFx Outcome

No Winner Earth Sciences New Zealand (ESNZ) advises that the procurement process for the provision of Travel Management Services has been completed.
Following evaluation of responses to the Request for Proposal, Orbit World Travel has been selected as the preferred supplier.
The contract will be established under the All‑of‑Government Travel Management Company (TMC) framework, with ESNZ‑specific service arrangements agreed between the parties.
ESNZ thanks all respondents for their participation in this procurement and the time and effort taken to prepare their submissions.
